Quinoa Fun Facts

As you know I'm obsessed with quinoa! It's yummy, easy to make, and goes with just about everything.I found this infographic and thought I would share it for people who don't know a lot about the grain.One thing that isn't mentioned that I believe is very important is that you need to make sure to rinse off quinoa before you cook it. There is a build up of residue that makes the quinoa difficult to digest but water washes it away easily.

Reader Feedback: Have you cooked with quinoa before? What is your favorite recipe using quinoa?

About

Welcome to the place where I share things about yoga, health, nutrition, and anything else that comes to me. I am a yoga teacher and love every minute of my job. I started practicing yoga in Washington, DC when I was in college. It was the perfect way to balance the stress that came with school. After I graduated I moved to Albuquerque, NM. I spent a few months trying out different types of yoga before I found Prana Flow, Vinyasa Flow. I did my teacher training with Maria Garre. During teacher training I was introduced to Ayurveda. I've found my passion in a combination of yoga, health, nutrition, and cooking. This is the space I've created to share what I've learned with the rest of the world. Thanks for joining me!
